Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can non-destructively determine current produce quality. An evaluation system can, at a first time, receive image data of produce and identify a type of the produce using machine learning techniques. The produce can be sent to an end-consumer retail environment. A quality assessment system can, at a second time, receive, from a user device in the retail environment, a request for a current quality of a particular produce that includes scanned data of that produce. The quality assessment system can identify that produce, retrieve, from a data store, machine learning trained models for identifying quality features of that produce, determine, based on applying the models to the scanned data, a current quality of that produce, and transmit, to the user device, the current quality. The produce's price can also be dynamically adjusted based on the current quality of that produce.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining duration of produce using image data. A method can include receiving, by a computing system and from an imaging device, image data of produce that is captured at consistent time intervals during a period of time, the image data including one or more treated produce that is coated in a shelf life extension coating solution and one or more untreated produce that is not coated in the shelf life extension coating solution, performing object detection on the image data to identify a bounding box around each produce in the image data, identifying quality attributes in each bounding box at each of the time intervals during the period of time, and determining, for each produce, one or more duration scoring metrics based on comparing the identified quality attributes over the period of time.

Abstract: Presented herein are barrier film compositions that can be used, for example, as protective coatings for plant matter (e.g., agricultural products). In some embodiments, the compositions delay moisture loss and/or decrease respiration to extend the shelf life of the plant matter. In one embodiment, the barrier film composition comprises a first component comprising a charged long chain alkyl and a second component having an opposing charge. The barrier film composition can be used to prevent or delay spoilage due to, for instance, desiccation and ripening.
